Watch: Pistons' Saddiq Bey stuns the Warriors
When Klay Thompson drilled a three with one second to go, the Golden State Warriors thought they were headed to overtime again.
Saddiq Bey thought differently.
Bey sunk a three-pointer while falling away to give the Detroit Pistons a 122-119 victory--and season sweep of the defending champions. He also spoiled Klay Thompson's dominant fourth quarter, where Thompson scored 17 points and made three three-pointers, including the game-tying shot on a clever play design by Warriors coach Steve Kerr.
Ty Jerome looped a beautiful pass to Anthony Lamb, who immediately passed to Thompson cutting to the three-point line. The misdirection confused the Pistons, but two nights after he went for 54, and with Steph Curry out, how was the Pistons' defensive plan anything but, "Don't leave Klay Thompson, no matter what?"
The Pistons ended a five-game win streak by the Warriors and dealt them only their third home loss of the season. Bey finished with four threes off the bench, which was one more than Thompson. Just like the final seconds.
